My journey of becoming more than just a "pretty face"
after getting gastric bypass surgery... a journey through foods, rants, good things and too much information :)

Days one and two

I was told by the surgeon a 40lb loss PRIOR to surgery will be beneficial to me. Less chance of blood clots, less chance of having to do an open incision, and it'll be one pound less to lose post-op.

So yesterday was my first day on my pre-op diet. Wasn't so bad, honestly. Definitely didn't eat ENOUGH.

B: Protein ShakeS: Almonds with craisinsL: Special K Protein Plus (no milk. i like my cereal dry)S: Small salad with cucumbers and Red wine vinegar as dressing... and Almonds with craisins again (okay, i was a little unprepared)D: Yellowtail shashimi, and one piece of whitefish tempura. DEEELISH.

I also had my first session with my new trainer yesterday. He kicked my ass. Like hardcore. I actually threw up. Thats also how I knew I hadn't eaten enough, because all I threw up was a little bit of the craisins and the rest was water and bile. (I know, tmi, but this is what it is. no holding back.)

Also worked out again today. same trainer. he said yesterday he just wanted to see how much i really wanted this, and thats why he pushed me so hard. makes sense, especially since i walked in there yesterday saying "i want someone who could potentially make me cry, and not let me whine and bitch about working out." Did i mention he was a former drill instructor in the army? yeah. he's also my height. maybe an inch or two taller. So that would make him a whopping 5' or 5'1. i'd say 5'2 max. he's going to help me with foods. what i should eat, shouldnt eat, when i should eat it, and recipes.
